I think we are on the wrong page.

By charging I mean the wage. Charging more for a kid. I can see how my choice of words was confusing.

Let me reword it:

Requiring that children under 18 get an additional wage of $5/hr per year they are under 18 (17 = +5, 16 = +10, etc) is a way to discourage companies from hiring underage workers by making them cost more.

Keep Lemmy Weird! 🤘🤪

So they’re gonna supply everyone with free housing right?

Aww 🥰

I’m good

Pal, reading the entire thread will show you that I’m against child labor and cracking the joke that children should cost more to employ as a way to prevent cheap child labor.

It’s a joke. Child labor is bad. Goodnight.

Well, yeah, child labor is not cool.

Charging more isn’t incentivizing.

Minimum wage plus $5/hr for every year under 18.

They should be paid more.

Well we keep voting for untrustworthy people, so wtf did we think would happen?

Few trans people have bottom surgery. It’s horribly invasive and painful.

You could define trans people as a cultural group. And there could be a trans genocide. However, this isn’t genocide. It’s just bigotry and hate. Sure, it could become genocide if left unchecked, but right now it’s not.

I’m gay. And this isn’t genocide. You could use hate, bigotry, segregation possibly, but genocide requires death, not “sometimes death,” and it’s the whole group, not just the ones who cannot defend themselves. Rich LGBT in the UK are doing just fine.

Genocide is the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.

The advocate is a very real organization. However, they lean towards the dramatic. That’s how you get attention to topics that some people don’t want to think about.

You didn’t watch it.

At least it would be funny, in a good way.

Waiting for the communists to jump in confidently incorrect.

Yea. Lemmy is a breeding ground.

If he drops out, it needs to be now. Whomever runs needs time to rally people. And that person is going to have to be as smooth as Obama and as aggressive as Bernie.

Void help us.
